Chapter 46 Sunflowers and Secrets " Even if we fail in the end , it doesn't matter , " Alex said firmly . " At least we tried ! " 47 % Finished Holden nodded . " But if we win , we'll finally have a complete family , with a mom who loves us . " " Compared to all those other messy women outside , Holden added , " we only want our own mom . And it's not that she doesn't love us - she was just sick before ." " She wanted to get rid of you . More than once ," Morris reminded them coldly . The two boys clearly weren't hearing it for the first time . Their faces stayed calm . " Back then , Wendy secretly explained it to us , " Holden said . " She told us Mom didn't want to have us because she didn't want to use us to tie Dad down . She also didn't want us to grow up unloved the way she did . She thought that not giving birth to us would be the responsible choice - for her , for us , and for Dad . " Alex added , " The Leigh family told us about it to drive a wedge between us and her ... " Then he looked at Morris seriously . " It might sound unfair to you , but we really want you to accept our mom too . We'd like to share her with you , so that all three of us have a mom ." Morris said nothing . He turned his head toward the window , his mood sinking into something heavy and restless . Because he'd never had a mom . He still didn't know why she hadn't wanted him ... Seeing him like that , the two boys exchanged a glance but stayed quiet . Luckily , the car stopped soon after . A knock came at the window . When the three of them turned , they saw a familiar face smiling in that not - smiling way . Morris , Holden , and Alex : "... " Rosalie had come to settle accounts . Morris quickly pushed aside his gloom . " I'll get out first ," he said to the boys . " You're so nice , " Alex chirped . Holden glanced at his naïve little brother , swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue , and looked at the bouquet of sunflowers resting on the passenger seat instead . He had asked their dad to buy it earlier . And it seemed it was about to come in handy . Morris stepped out of the car and froze when he met Rosalie's half - smiling eyes . " Your car didn't have room for me . And they weren't following me ." " You really threw them under the bus , huh ? " 1/2 12:15 Sep 18 Chapter 46 Sunflowers and Secrets Alex's voice called out from the back seat . Rosalie patted Morris on the shoulder . " Nicely done . " Then she bent down to the back seat , ready to pull the two little ones out- And found herself staring at a bouquet in full bloom . A spray of tall sunflowers surrounded by champagne roses , yellow roses , and lisianthus . 47 % Finished The pale golden palette glowed like sunlight , the tiny fairy lights woven through making the whole bouquet shine even brighter . Rosalie was instantly dazzled . " Wow , these flowers are gorgeous ! Are they for me ? " Her face lit with delight . " Of course , " Alex said , holding out the bouquet . " They're for Mom ! " Holden added , " We hope Mom can be like the sunflowers - always facing the light , chasing the sun . " " Thank you , babies , what a surprise ! I love it ! " Rosalie hugged the bouquet close , inhaled deeply , her joy written all over her face . " Mom ," Alex said earnestly , " we really don't want to be apart from you . But we had to , just so we could surprise you ! " " Seeing you so happy makes it all worth it , " Holden said . As Rosalie beamed with laughter , Morris curled his lip to the side - only to meet Christopher's steady gaze . " Why are you looking at me like that ? " Morris bristled , suddenly uncomfortable . It felt as if every little thought inside him had been laid bare . " If you're jealous , why not just join them ? " Christopher asked calmly . " You're talking nonsense ! " Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on , Morris snapped , his whole body tense . Rosalie and the boys turned to look . Morris quickly turned his back to them and lowered his voice . " Who's jealous ? What's there to be jealous of ? " " If you're not , then why skip class - and just happen to show up at the same mall where they were filming ? " Christopher's tone was steady as ever , but softer , mindful of the boy's thin skin . Morris froze like someone had pressed pause . At that exact moment , Rosalie came over . " What are you two whispering about that we can't hear ? " Sep 18 Chapter 46 Sunflowers and Secrets " Man's business . None of yours , " Morris cut in before Christopher could speak . Rosalie snorted . " Man's business ? You're just a little brat whose voice hasn't even finished changing ! " 47 % Finished But then she stopped short , her expression shifting . She gave Morris a doubtful once - over . " Wait ... don't tell me you've already done that with some girl ? " " Done what ? " Morris blinked , caught off guard . Christopher hadn't expected Rosalie to be so blunt . The corner of his mouth twitched . " Let's go eat . I need to get back to the office afterward to deal with the things you brought up .
